They Held Me Down
They Held Me Down
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein
"This next song is dedicated to all the cop-outs in the world
My friends mostly... including me"
It was Sat night at the slammer
The gavel was falling like a hammer
As they dragged in every freak
From off the road
One by one they entered the cell
And the stories that they had to tell
Were all different
But all seemed to end on the very same note
"They held me down and they put it on my nose
They even sprinkled a little bit on my clothes
Yeah… I know what you're thinkin
But I ain't one of those
No… they held me down and put it in my nose"
This wino in the corner got up and shook himself out...
He said
"Well they held me down and poured it down my throat
That's what they did
They even planted the bottle in my coat
Anybody want some?
Yeah… the reason why my pants so wet
Is they pushed me off the boat
After they held me down and poured it down my throat"
And this chick in the next cell…
She said
"I heard you guys talking
And let me tell you something…
He held me down and he put it you know where
Ohhhh... I told him I was a virgin
But he didn't care
Noooo... the pig!
Ahhhh... you see his wallet's in my purse
What's it doing there?
He held me down and put it you know where"
And then this cat got up
Well... he half got up
He lifted his head and
He said
"Hey, man... they held me down and they put it in my vein
They even held a pistol to my brain
Or I wouldn'ta done it
Ohhh... these scars on my arms are where I crashed through the window pane...
Tryin' to get awaaaaaaaaay
When they held me down and put it in my vein"
And then this cat.. a rollie-eyed cat in a raincoat, and shoes
And the bottom of his pants were cut off at the knees
He said
"She held me down and put it in my face
Oh, the disgrace
And that's the fact on which I'm gonna base my case
She was overweight and underage
And we was at my place
But she held me down and put it in my face"
They held me down and made me write this song...

Count Your Blessings (Aled Jones)
Count Your Blessings
Composer(s): Richard Morgan; Edith Temple
Performer(s): Aled Jones
and multiple other artists
Count your blessings one by one
When dawn appears and day has just begun
They will light your heart with happiness
Make each hour bright and bring you gladness
Count your blessings one by one
When twilight falls and toil of day is done
And in sweet dreams they'll come again to you
If you will count your blessings each day through
Count your blessings while you may
For we are here but little time to stay
All around are hearts sincere and true
Lovely things abound just waiting for you
Count your blessings while you may
The big or small, whichever comes your way
For then you'll find this world a place of love
If you will count your blessings from above

J'Ai Dansé Avec L'Amour
J'Ai Dansé Avec L'Amour
Composer(s): Edith Piaf; Marguerite Monnot
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
{Refrain:}
J'ai dansé avec l'amour
J'ai fait des tours et des tours
Ce fut un soir merveilleux
Je ne voyais que ses yeux si bleus
Ses cheveux couleur de blond
Lui et moi, que c'était bon
L'amour avait dans ses yeux
Tant d'amour, tant d'amour
Tant d'amour, d'amour
Lui et moi contre lui
Au-dessus la nuit
Tournent dans le bruit
Moi, n'osant pas parler
Le corps bousculé
J'étais admirée
Lui, la musique et lui
Partout l'amour, partout la fièvre
Et nos corps frissonnants
Moi, la musique et moi
Partout ses yeux, partout ses lèvres
Et puis mon cœur hurlant
{Refrain}

They Grow Up
They Grow Up
Performer(s): Dave Smalley
I remember that night she was born
I was a young man myself
When the doctor said it's a little girl
I felt my heart melt
An old man in the waiting room
He looked up at me and smiled
He said son remember
they're only with you for awhile
They grow up they grow so fast
By the time you figure it out
the moment has passed
I remember that high school prom
Pretty ribbons of blue
I said angel don't stay out too late
She said Daddy I love you
When a young man came to pick her up
I saw her face light up and smile
I remembered that same smile
when she was just a child
They grow up they grow so fast
By the time you figure it out
the moment has passed
That little girl she's finished college
Got a life of her own
When I think of the life we've shared
I'm never alone
And there's something that I need to tell her
And I know she'll understand
That I'll always love her
and I'd do it all again
They grow up they grow so fast
By the time you figure it out
the moment has passed
They grow up that's the way it should be
You just open your heart
and you save those memories
You just open your heart
and you save those memories
You save those memories yeah

Count On Me
Count On Me
Composer(s): J. Barish
Performer(s): Marty Balin
Precious love
I'll give it to you
Blue as the sky and deep in the
Eyes of a love so true
You make me feel light on the stairs and lost in the
Air of a love so real
And you can count on me girl
You can count on my love
Woman
You can count on me baby
You can count on my love to see
You through
Emerald eyes and china perfume
Caught in the wheel and lost in
The feel of a love so soon
Ruby lips
You make my song
Into the night and saved by the light
Of a love so strong
You can count on me girl
You can count on my love

J'Ai Crié À La Nuit
J'Ai Crié À La Nuit
Composer(s): Chris Long; Johnny Hallyday
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Ils sont plus de cinquante autour de moi
Je me sens comme perdu dans un désert
Sur leur échiquier je glisse comme un pion
Alors que je croyais en être le roi
Quand j'ai besoin d'un peu d'amitié
Les visages se tournent et s'effacent
Lorsque je réclame un peu de gaieté
Sous leurs sourires je sens de l'intérêt
Quelques fois j'ai envie
De crier à la nuit
Emmène-moi
Emmène-moi
Petit fille tu veux vieillir avec moi
Réfléchi, voudrais-tu être le miroir
Où l'on pourrait voir nos visages
Se froisser un peu plus chaque soir
Lorsque plus tard mon nom sera oublié
Viendras-tu comme avant pour me parler
Désolé petite fille, je vivrai seul
Je préfère vivre vite et mourir jeune
Quelques fois j'ai envie
De crier à la nuit
Emmène moi
Emmène moi...

They Go Wild, Simply Wild Over Me
They Go Wild, Simply Wild Over Me
Composer(s): Fred Fisher - Joseph McCarthy
They go wild, simply wild over me
They go mad, just as mad as they can be
No matter where I'm at
All the ladies thin or fat
The tall ones, the small ones
I grab 'em off like that
Ev'ry night how they fight over me
I don't know what it is that they can see
The ladies look at me and sigh
In my arms they want to die
They go wild, simply wild over me
They go wild, simply wild over me

Count Me Out (Marty Robbins)
Count Me Out
Composer(s): Jack Pruett
Performer(s): Marty Robbins
Takin' me for granted was your first mistake
And that was the beginnin' of a last heartache
And then you added insult to my injury
When you started treatin' me just as you please
Count me out of future plans you might be makin'
No more foolish chances am I takin'
You played love's game too rough
As for me, I've had enough
'Cause the goin's got too rough, so count me out
Things I thought important never bothered you
You kept on till you killed all my love for you
Doin' as you pleased became a part of you
You can't blame me now for walkin' out on you
Count me out of future plans you might be makin'
No more foolish chances am I takin'
You played love's game too rough
As for me, I've had enough
'Cause the goin's got too rough, so count me out

J'Ai Craqué
J'Ai Craqué
Composer(s): Alain Goraguer; Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Entre les fauteuils du 15, rue de Bretagne
Et les rocking-chairs de la maison de campagne
On balançait
Notre vie douillette, sans surprise et sans un
Pain quotidien de nos dix ans de bonheur
Au bonheur près j'étais bien protégé
Dans le film à tiroir de ma vie bien rangée
Avec les samedi soir pour changer
Pour changer de quoi toi et moi
Moi et toi, femme et mère à la fois
J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué
J'attendais ta fête pour t'apporter des fleurs
Je ne chantais plus, j'avais des pantoufles au cœur
Je m'endormais
Tu savais quand je disais: "Devine où on part?"
Tu riais avant que j'ai fini mes histoires
Et même après tu m'avais tellement dit
Que je n'étais qu'un gosse, un gamin
Étourdi, que je m'imaginais tout petit
Et puis d'un seul coup j'ai grandi
Et j'ai coupé le fil du passé
J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué
Je ne sais pas où mais je m'en vais droit devant
Meme si l'allumette n'a craqué que le temps
D'une étincelle
Je m'en contrefous si ça permet de rêver
De faire un détour loin des chemins programmés
Toujours pareils et le vent de folie
Qui fait tourner si fort le moulin de ma vie
Qu'importe s'il s'arrête aujourd'hui
Puisque celle qui lui a dit de souffler
Reste et me donne envie de craquer
J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué ...

They Fell
They Fell
((French Version: Ils Sont Tombés (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz - Herbert Kretzmer
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
They fell that year
They vanished from the Earth
Never knowing the code
Or what law they'd offended
The women fell at work
And the babies they tended
Left to die, left to cry
All condemned by their birth
They fell like rain
Across the thirsty land
In their hearts they were clean
In their dust still believing
All the obedient things
In a season of grieving
Caught in rain, always rain
Just for one helping hand
For no one heard their prayers
In a world bent on pleasure
From other people scared
They simply closed their eyes
They craved a lot of sound
In jazz and ragtime measured
The trumpets screamed till dawn
To drown the childrens' cries
They fell like leaves
Its people in its pride
People, men, kindly men
And not one knew his crime
If he came in an hour
Like a small desert flower
Still covered by the silent wind
In sands of time
They fell that year
Before they could grow
They had little to give
But their lives and their passion
And their longing to live
In their way, in their fashion
So their harvest could thrive
And their children could grow
They fell like flies
Their eyes still full of sun
Like a dog each flies
In the path of a rifle
That holds on with its might
And each death, though a trifle
And to bring to an end
A life barely begun
And I am of that Race
Who died in unknown places
Who perished in their pride
Whose blood in rivers ran
In agony and pride
With courage on their faces
They went into the night
That waits for every man
They fell like tears
And never knew what for
In that summer of pride
Of massacre and war
Their only crime was life
They only give towards being
The children of Armenia
Nothing less, nothing more

Count Me Out (Gary Brooker)
Count Me Out
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; I. Sutherland
Performer(s): Gary Brooker
When it's time for me to go
and I hear that whistle blow
I'll be waiting in line day or night
Take my hand and lead me down
Lay my burden on the ground
Break these chains and let me stand in the light
Now I know what the game's all about
If that's the way you want to play - count me out
Had enough of alibis, empty promises and lies
Trying to find a better life on my own
There's no easy way I know - now the strains begin to show
Still I'm looking for a light to lead me home
Though my heart's still full of doubt
There's no way I'm gonna play - so count me out
I've been too long here breaking my back
Doing my best to get through
I never thought I could feel this way
But I need to find something new
It's not the money and it's not the gold
I just want some peace of mind
My life is racing like a runaway train
Getting faster all the time...
Underneath a golden sky
Far away I'm gonna fly
To a place I know is there in my mind
Like a sailor home to die
With no journey left to try
Throw my spirit in the tide and lead me blind
Now I know what this game's all about
If that's the way you wanna play
Then count me out

J'Ai Bu
J'Ai Bu
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Roche
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour;
Pierre Roche; Georges Ulmer
J'ai bu
J'ai joué et tout mis sur le tapis
A la roulette de la vie
T'as tout gagné, moi j'ai perdu
Alors j'ai bu
J'ai bu
J'ai dit des mots qui passaient en mon âme
Mais toi dans ta petit tête de femme
T'as pas compris que j'étais perdu
Alors j'ai bu
Et fou
J'ai compris malgré tes caresses
Dans la douceur de mon ivresse
Que tu mentais
J'ai bu
Pourtant je t'aimais d'un amour sincère
Mais un jour malgré mes prières
Tu m'as quittée n'en parlons plus
Alors j'ai bu
Fine, Whisky, gin
Tous les alcools me sont permis
Ce qui me chagrine,
Si des barmen je suis ami
Des réverbères je suis l'ennemi
Sur le palier
Le trou de serrure joue à cache-cache
Avec ma clef
Ma maison a un drôle de mine
Tous les objets font philippine
J'ai bu
J'ai joué et j'ai tout mis sur le tapis
A la roulette de la vie
T'as tout gagné, moi j'ai perdu
Alors j'ai bu
J'ai bu
J'ai dit des mots qui passaient en mon âme
Mais toi dans ta petit tête de femme
T'as pas compris que j'étais perdu
Alors j'ai bu
Et saoul
J'ai vite oublié tes caresse
Je me plais bien mieux dans mon ivresse
Et loin de toi
Je bois
Le trottoir n'est plus assez grand pour moi
En titubant je crie à pleine voix
Les flics sont des petits potes pour moi
Je bois
J'ai bu
J'ai joué et tout mis sur le tapis
A la roulette de la vie
T'as tout gagné, moi j'ai perdu
Alors j'ai bu
La radio joue un Ave Maria
Elle est marrante cette chanson-là
Les parole sont en auvergnat
J'ai bu
Et mou
Je me suis couché sur le parquet
La chambre tournait sans arrêt
Ce que j'étais gai
J'ai bu
J'ai bu
Je suis heureux et ce qui fait ma joie
Demain j'aurai la gueule de bois
Et ne penserai plus à toi
Et c'est pourquoi
Que je bois

They Don't Make Them Like They Used To
They Don't Make Them Like They Used To
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Carole Bayer Sager
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
They don't make them like they used to
They don’t make ‘em like they used to, those guys
And I can’t get used to the way that it is today
No one to look up to, hard times, and though I try
I just can’t find the reason these days
And it seems like the seasons are passing me
They’re going by, nothing to hold on to, rough times
And it goes on, so count on me, and I’ll count on you
You can lean on me, two of us stronger
We won’t be alone any longer
Now and for always we will be good friends
Count on me, into any storm, we’re gonna survive it
Into any fire, we’ll carry on
Know that one day you and me will both be old friends
And we’ll sit on the sofa and talk about how
They don’t make ‘em like they used to, you’ll see
As time goes on, so count on me, and I’ll count on you
In a world like this, when nothing’s sure
And people are afraid, I’ll be here for...
Now and for always we will be good friends
Count on me, they don’t make it now like they used to
They’re not gonna last like you and me, I’ll be there
Oh, always we will be, year by year
Depend on me, into any storm, we’re gonna survive it
Into any fire, just count on me, I’ll be there
Oh, tough guys, you and me, year by year
They will see, they don’t make it now like they used to
They’re not gonna last like you and me...

If you need someone to count on, count me in

And all your other friends you've lost, count me found

Count me in through thick and thin or it don't count

J'Ai Besoin D'un Amour

Comme l'homme a besoin de la terre
Qui lui prodigue tous ses fruits
L'enfant a besoin de sa mère
Pour ses premiers pas dans la vie
Comme chacun a besoin de l'autre
Ouais, pour s'entraider au long des jours
Puisque je suis comme les autres
Moi j'ai besoin de ton amour
Ouais, moi j'ai besoin de ta présence
Pour embellir mon existence
Moi j'ai besoin de ta tendresse
De tes baisers, de tes caresses
Moi j'ai besoin que tu m'enlaces
Pour mieux te sentir tout à moi
Moi j'ai besoin que tu m'embrasses
Moi j'ai toujours besoin de toi
Comme l'oiseau a besoin d'espace
Pour se mouvoir en liberté
Un clown a besoin de grimaces
Pour amuser l'humanité

Les besoins nous prennent toujours
Pour ne jamais avoir de peine
Moi j'ai besoin de ton amour
Ouais, moi j'ai besoin de ta présence
Pour embellir mon existence

They Don't Know
They Don't Know
Composer(s): Kirsty MacColl
First release by: Kirsty MacColl - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
You've been around for such a long time now
Oh baby, I could leave you but I don't know how
And why should I be lonely every night
When I could be with you oh yes you, make it right
And I don't
Listen to the guys who say
That you're bad for me and I should turn you away
Cuz they don't know about us,
They've never heard of love
I get a feeling when I look at you
Wherever you go now I wanna be there too
They say we're crazy, but I just don't care
And if they keep on talking still they get no where
So I don't
Mind if they don't understand
When I look at you when you hold my hand
Cuz they don't know about us,
and they've never heard of love
Why should it matter to us if they don't approve
We should just take our chances while we've got nothing to lose
Baby
There's no need for living in the past
Now i've found good lovin' gonna make it last
I tell the others don't bother me
cuz when they look at you they don't see what i see
No I don't
listen to their wasted lines
got my eyes wide open and i see the signs
Cuz they don't know about us
They've never heard of love
No I don't
listen to their wasted lines
got my eyes wide open and I see the signs
Cuz they don't know about us
They've never heard of love

Performer(s): Sheila - 1965
Nous avons été séparés
Pendant bien longtemps
Sans jamais cesser d'espérer
À tous les instants
On a connu des mauvais jours
Mais on les oublie
Car nous voici enfin réunis
On a vécu le cœur serré
Pendant de longs mois
Bien souvent, tu sais, j'ai pleuré
D'être loin de toi
Mais il ne faut plus y penser
Tout est bien fini
Car nous voici enfin réunis
Je savais bien qu'un jour tu reviendrais
Et que nos chagrins alors s'effaceraient
Quelle joie de se retrouver
Après tout ce temps
Je crois bien que l'on va s'aimer
Encore plus qu'avant
Nous avons tous deux des projets
Pour toute une vie
Car nous voici enfin réunis
Je savais bien qu'un jour tu reviendrais
Et que nos chagrins alors s'effaceraient
Notre amour n'a jamais changé
Mais à l'avenir
Nous allons tous deux nous jurer
De ne plus partir
Ce bonheur que l'on attendait
Commence aujourd'hui
Car nous voici enfin réunis
Car nous voici enfin réunis
Car nous voici enfin réunis

J'Ai Besoin D'un Ami
J'Ai Besoin D'un Ami
Italian Title: Ho Bisogno
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
J'ai besoin d'un ami
Pour réchauffer ma vie
Pour les jours sans amour
Et d'ennuis
Que ce soit un vieil homme
Un enfant
Mais quelqu'un qui sourit
Et qui me tende la main
Je suis seul dans la ville
Je ne suis qu'un passant
Un visage sans nom
Parmi les indifférents
J'ai besoin d'un ami
Qui saurai m'écouter
Pour m'aider à oublier
Le passé
Je suis seul et ma vie
Est si lourde à porter
Dans la nuit infinie
Où ton amour m'a laissé
J'ai besoin d'un ami
Pour réchauffer ma vie
Pour m'aider à oublier
Que je t'aimais
